New Facility for Packing Days
Click to Download Brochure for Thursday Volunteering
Our new and permanent packing location is next door to the recently established MarineParents.com office. Our upgraded facility is heated and air conditioned and is a much more pleasant environment to work in.
We Need Local Volunteers!
Our new office now allows us to bring in volunteers to work in the packaging area on a regular basis. We'd love for you to join us. As donated items come in, they are inspected, sorted, and inventoried for the packing days. Prior to the packing day, we've got labels, letters, and the multi-part customs forms that need to printed and sorted. We've got letters to the Marines from children and citizens around the US that need to be sorted and counted. And we need your help getting all of this work done! Come for an hour or two, or stay the entire time. We welcome you each week, or as on occasional volunteer.
